What’s gone live
Each month, we make enhancements, improvements, and bug fixes to Clear Books. The following changes are available now.
VAT: Fixed asset management on VAT flat rate scheme
- Adds a feature that supports customers using the VAT Flat Rate Scheme when managing fixed assets above £2,000.
- Improves user experience for customers on the Flat Rate Scheme by providing a message that a transaction will appear on a VAT return when a bill is created with a line item for a fixed asset that is over £2k in value
- Improves the user experience to show credit notes against Capital Goods over £2,000 on a VAT return on the Flat Rate Scheme
- Improves the user experience to give a warning message that VAT needs to be repaid to HMRC when a Capital Good over £2,000 is sold on the Flat Rate Scheme
- Improves the user experience on the Flat Rate Scheme to only allow full credit notes of Capital Goods against invoices of Capital Goods
- Improves the user experience to prevent Capital Goods purchases from having their account codes changed if included on a VAT return or if part paid
VAT: Multiple open VAT periods
Improves the user experience on the VAT period maintenance screen by advising users with multiple open VAT periods that they are required to provide end dates on VAT periods that should not be open.
VAT flat rate scheme switching on cash accounting
Addresses an issue for users who use cash accounting and have switched to the VAT Flat Rate Scheme. Invoices raised on the VAT Standard Scheme which were paid on the VAT Flat Rate Scheme were appearing on the VAT return with the incorrect VAT rate applied. Now, the VAT return reflects VAT at the Flat Rate applicable when the payment was made.
Batch invoice and bill creation
Improves the user experience when creating invoices and bills by batch. When an error is encountered in any of the items in the batch, the entire batch is paused and can be reviewed by the user to correct the error, and retry.
